Every morning as you get ready to show off our trendy leather attaché holding all your prized possessions, we can imagine you beaming in pride because of your smart decision – settling for a price tag which is way too appealing than the one on Lanvin’s tote!

We recently featured a trendy picture of one our young patron’s on our blog. Koehler Lange was completely delighted with his vintage buy, a black vintage coat from LAV. And we were overjoyed to connect with somebody who appreciates our vintage style. There would not have been a better way to seal this bond than a charming picture of Koehler sporting our vintage piece on our blog. This picture will surely go down our memory lane as LAV’s vintage pride.

We would love to post some more pictures of our fashionistas who have enjoyed posing for the lens with LAV’s vintage accessories. Please send us your picture in which you’re dressed in your favorite LAV vintage gear and get framed on our blog!

After our 1st blow-out sale that sent ripples across the city with a rare medley of some of their finest vintage pieces, We’re all set to churn out our best lot of vintage clothing for our 2nd warehouse sale, this time with wider options and juicier discounts on women’s and men’s vintage finery. Our warehouse sale to be held on December 5th 2009 is also aimed towards sharing the real essence of LA Vintage, which goes beyond just being a vintage fashion company. LAV’s a company whose vintage clothing is not effectuated by design operations that are harmful to our planet. Be it women’s vintage clothing, men’s vintage clothing, vintage accessories, or vintage boots, every piece here at LAV echoes that protecting the environment does not mean sacrificing style, sophistication, or comfort. Our 2nd warehouse sale will offer a glimpse of how we run our green operation. Of course, the real joie de vivre lies in the attractive discounts and the fact that each vintage item at the sale is going to be sold at a factory direct price.

A plush en masse of vintage dresses, retro skirts, vintage blouses, and winter vintage jackets that have not been uncovered on the LAV website, will be exhibited during the sale with 50% or more off on the original prices. LAV’s “Bargain Boxes” which received an overwhelming response at our 1st blow-out sale are back and are going to be stocked with trendy vintage items that cost just $10 each. In addition to these “crowd-pullers” with our stylish vintage accessories and alluring price tags, all the items listed on our website will be discounted by 15%. Additionally, the prices of vintage pieces on our Sale Rack will be marked down by 15%-50%.

LAV’s authentically Green December Vintage Bonanza will be held on the 1st Saturday of December 2009, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at our warehouse.

Christie’s Auction House to Value Gucci Vintage

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009


To restore the brand’s authenticity and fight against the online counterfeiting of its vintage accessories, Gucci is collaborating with Christie’s Auction House to build the “Gucci Collector”, a dedicated section on www.christies.com. Gucci Collector will provide virtual evaluation of Gucci vintage items that are potential candidates for auction. This online evaluation process will involve uploading of images of Gucci items that are owned by people seeking appraisals, for examination. “This new service will provide a trusted venue for transactions of vintage Gucci items, thereby avoiding recourse to uncontrolled auction sites such as eBay,” said Patrizio di Marco, chief executive of Gucci. According to Mr. di Marco, an online service is a noble way to provide access to original Gucci vintage products to a well-targeted audience.

Patricia Frost, director of fashion and textiles at Christie’s in London, will work with an in-house Gucci archivist in Florence to evaluate items for sale at auction. This new online evaluation process for Gucci collectors and customers is scheduled to go live by the end of the year, before the grand opening of Gucci’s museum in Florence next year and the brand’s 90th anniversary in 2011. The new project will assist Gucci in exhibiting brand’s rich archive of vintage items that have never been revealed to public at its Florence museum and enhance its cache of vintage treasures.

Here’s your chance to own some of those everlasting vintage dresses and vintage accessories worn by the enduring vintage fashion icon herself. On December 8th, thirty-six pieces of Audrey’s clothes and accessories are going up for auction in London according to The Independent.

All of the net-profits from the auction will be donated to All Children in School, a foundation supported by the Audrey Hepburn Children’s Fund that aims to educate 120 million children worldwide. This is one of those rare occasions when you do not feel guilty about owning priceless vintage pieces that are simply eternal… After all, nothing is more in style than reaching out to those who are less fortunate.
